So in a GE he 100% loses his seat and there's no chance he's gonna get some cushy job afterwards. Bardeh fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Aug 15, 2019 |

Azza Bamboo posted:I get that the plan is to have the caretaker govt take an extension but I was also under the impression that 12 is a big enough number to hurt this process. The TIGgers (or whatever they're called this week) are a significant counterweight to this. They're ostensibly anti-Brexit, but very aware that they've flushed their political careers down the drain on a stupidly misjudged gamble. They know that a GE is the final nail in the coffin of their descent into irrelevance, so they seem to be more than happy to throw the country under the bus for a couple more years deluding themselves that they have their hands on the strings of power.

Sensible talk now please. I think we should attack Dublin first using submarines, seeing thats the main hub of communication for the Republic and it will hard to counter against. Level RTE studios and army bases at once, then the Dail, then the main council buildings in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford, Sligo and any others that seem to have any gatherings over the next few days. At the end of the first day troops can land anywhere on the east side of Ireland and a foothold can be established for the rest.

OwlFancier posted:Again, other countries aren't your friends. The EU does not care one jot what happens outside its borders other than to the extent it causes problems for it domestically, it would drown the entire african continent in the mediterranean before it let more refugees in and it would do exactly the same to the UK. It's not quite that monstrous, the whole Italian dickheadedness (dickheadery?) wrt the med refugees is very controversial. And Brexit hurts the EU too, I'm fairly certain they'd rather just forget the whole thing (and I believe the resident Brussels poster-correspondent Junior G-Man said as much on multiple occasions).

So a rough timeline: 1. VONC passes. 2. Vote to install Corbyn as PM fails by tens of votes. 3. Vote to install Clarke/Harman fails by hundreds of votes. 4. Stalemate. We're going to end up watching the clock tick down waiting to see who will break first, either the Labour leadership or the Lib Dems/Tory rebels. Downside: the Remain media will 100% try to blame Labour even though the came closest to forming a government. Upside: the Lib Dems have made remaining at all costs their brand, and the Tory rebels will already be hosed if they've voted no confidence. So they might actually crack first.

This is all they have. They've abandoned actual policy in view of hoping that (a) everyone has become a single-issue brexit voter and (b) to soak up 48% of the vote based on this. Now Labour is obviously trying to do more to damage control Brexit, the Lib Dems are trying to fight off Corbyn on their single issue and consequently are pissing off their earnest members and voters who really do think the Lib Dems are the stop brexit party.

https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1162117238645764101 Something I haven't seen pointed out much is that a caretaker government would exist to call an ELECTION, not a referendum (because they take far too long and could be over-ridden by the subsequent election anyway). The only realistic outcome of that election would either be Corbyn as PM and a referendum, or Boris as PM and No Deal. So why the gently caress are the people who want remain arguing about Corbyn being caretaker? Whoever is caretaker, they only get their referendum if Corbyn wins the subsequent election. If they really don't want him as PM then they have to accept a Boris government which will take us out No Deal. Its either/or. Of course we know that really they would prefer the Tories, just interested in how they justify it.

After they VONC their government are they hoping it'll get voted back in and carry right on with no deal? Because the only alternative is Corbyn.

jabby posted:Lib Dem majority! Possibly to be to Boris what the centrists claimed to be to Corbyn in the run up to the last GE. They'll curtail his worst elements and stop a hard brexit. Alternatively they might be sick of this politics lark and want to either retire or move into business and are acutely aware of the damage brexit is going to do to their field of choice.

jabby posted:So a rough timeline: 5. Parliament is dissolved after two weeks and a GE called. The reason for this offer from Corbyn is concern over the purdah rules meaning it's basically impossible for the Government to ask for an A50 extension even if they were minded to once this happens. The unknowable is what the EU can (or are willing) to do in that time - the assumption until quite recently is that they could unilaterally extend A50 but according to some the Withdrawal Bill wording makes that impossible?

 PODCAST NEWS Hi everyone! We had a really productive meeting tonight, and it's now down to voting on the final aspects. If anyone is intending to get involved with the podcast, the links to those votes are in the discord (pinned in the podcast channel), so please feel free to contribute your thoughts  Also, I'm putting out a call for anyone interested in designing the branding to give us a shout about it. The voting closes on Sunday, so we'll have more of an idea of what we're looking for by then, but if you think you could contribute please do let me know, I've got PMs here or just grab me on the discord. I'd like to thank everyone that's participated for helping get this off the ground, and I'm really looking forward to getting the first episode out! Now, back to your regularly scheduled Lib Dem bashing.

Question on the "gaining the confidence of the House" thing. Say Corbyn loses a confidence vote by a few tens of votes, and the Commons has to vote on a replacement or accept stalemate/a Boris GE. In that case, the lost votes would come from Tories/centrist Labour/Lib Dems. If they vote on an empty suit replacement (say Chuka or something lol), the whipping of votes would be on the entire Labour Party instead, not the Lib Dems/the most centrist parts of both main parties. Wouldn't there be far more Corbyn loyalists in the whole Labour party for the centrists to win over than there are centrists for Labour to win over? Wouldn't that mean that whoever's Jo Swinson's preference is would actually almost certainly lose by more? (i know the answer to this question is that Jo Swinson is a disingenuous poo poo lol, I just wanted to follow the "confidence of the house" stuff to its logical conclusion)
